You're so insecure you self destroyer..... (for this line you can either
play
these two chords or do the short solo which I don't feel like tabbing.)
Here's the layout:
riff 1 Starts with Bass. Guitar comes in at Stop!
riff 1
Met a girl called Lola and I took her back to my place
Feelin' guilty, feelin' scared, hidden cameras everywhere!!!
Stop! Hold on. Stay in control
Girl, I want you here with me
But I'm really not as cool as I'd like to be
'Cause there's a red, under my bed
And there's a little yellow man in my head
And there's a true, blue inside of me
That keeps stoppin' me, touchin' ya, watchin' ya, lovin' ya
riff 2
Paranoia the destroyer
riff 1
Well I fell asleep, then I woke feelin' kinda' queer
Lola looked at me and said, "ooh you look so weird."
She said, "man, there's really something wrong with you.
One day you're gonna self destruct."
You're up, you're down, I can't work you out
You get a good thing going then you blow yourself out.
riff 2
Silly boy you self destroyer
riff 3
Silly boy you got so much to live for
So much to aim for, so much to try for
You're blowing it all with paranoia
You're so insecure you self destroyer
riff 2
Paranoia the destroyer
riff 1
Doctor Doctor help me please I know you'll understand
There's a little time device inside me, I'm a self destructing man
There's a red, under my bed
And there's a little green man in my head
And he said, "you're not goin' crazy, you're just a bit sad
'Cause there's a man in ya, gnawin' ya, tearin' ya into two."
riff 2
Silly boy ya self-destroyer
Paranoia the destoryer
riff 3
Self-destroyer, wreck you're health
Destroy you're friends, destroy yourself
The time device of self-destruction
Light the fuse and start eruption
riff 2
(Yeah, it goes like this, here it goes)
Paranoia the destroyer
(Here's to paranoia)
Paranoia the destroyer
(Hey Hey, here it goes)
Paranoia the Destroyer
(And it goes like this)
Paranoia the destoyer
(And it goes like this)
This was done late at night so sorry for any mistakes.
Bowie

| Yeah, I agree, this is definitely about paranoia with possibly some psychosis thrown in for good measure. We did a video on this song back in the early 80's I think...Video was great and funny as heck cause no one could act..lol | |

| Well personally i think it may be about worrying to much about stuff and basically "paranoid" for me i can really relate to this song because in my life i tend to worry to much about things and because of that i end pushing the people i want to be with and who i want to be close with away and if it keeps going like that your basically going to end up destroying yourself because its only a matter of time before u just snap and go crazy and well "self-destruct" and "erupt" | |

| It's obvious this song is about paranoia and how it can really ruin your life... | |

| I think even though the song is about Paranoia, it also has a lot to do with depression and how depression can hold you back from doing things you want to do. | |
